4. Place-specific computing is suggested
as a new genre that focuses on how
we can shape interactions mediated
by digital tif t it t d
b di it l artifacts, situated iin places and
l d
utilizing place-specific resources to
enhance our experience of place

5. context not only shapes
usability but ideally
becomes the subject
matter of iinteraction
tt ft ti
design and that
quot;environmental
knowingquot; is a process
that technology may
serve and not erode

6. expresses an alternative to anytime-
anyplace sameness in computing
ubiquitous technology does not obviate
the human need for place
new technology must be culturally
grounded in “place”
what is here-and-now and the
here-and-
mediated presence of other people
and acti ities
activities
